Dice were thrown for risk to the general, but Montcalm remained unscathed.

At last! After three failed attempts, Bougainivlle's reinforcements arrive! Will they be able to turn the tables?

At noon, Bougainville appeared from Cap-Rouge with about 2,000 men, but withdrew on seeing double that force prepared to receive him. Kronoskaf

...Nevertheless there was some resistance to the pursuit. It came chiefly from the Canadians, many of whom had not advanced with the regulars to the attack. Those on the right wing, instead of doing so, threw themselves into an extensive tract of bushes that lay in front of the British left; and from this cover they opened a fire, too distant for much effect, till the victors advanced in their turn, when the shot of the hidden marksmen told severely upon them. Two battalions, therefore, deployed before the bushes, fired volleys into them, and drove their occupants out.

Again, those of the Canadians who, before the main battle began, attacked the British left from the brink of the plateau towards the Saint-Charles, withdrew when the rout took place, and ran along the edge of the declivity till, at the part of it called Côte Sainte-Geneviève, they came to a place where it was overgrown with thickets. Into these they threw themselves; and were no sooner under cover than they faced about to fire upon the 78th Fraser's Highlanders, who presently came up. As many of these mountaineers, according to their old custom, threw down their muskets when they charged, and had no weapons but their broadswords, they tried in vain to dislodge the marksmen, and suffered greatly in the attempt. Other troops came to their aid, cleared the thickets, after stout resistance, and drove their occupants across the meadow to the bridge of boats...

What's happening? Do the British have enough momentum to win the battle?

[DintheDin]

Yes, they have!
They move close to the last French units, before they manage to reform!
